* Animations are a bit odd on the focus point but i think I have figured that one out. For normal renders i let it cook in the preview window till done. * You need to learn the quirks between how lights work in preview and final render (that is an option in octane). * There is no more dual globe so I am still trying to figure out wet skin, though in daz i never really got that down. Redspec helps with this but still needs to be adjusted. You need to be very picky on textures as well. You may be able to, but it has yet to work consistently for me. * You need to save your presets for the environment and render settings. * Anything close to the camera should be retextured or at least adjusted. I will probably repeat myself from above as well a few times. Remember I have just started with it so this is in no way accurate. Fundamentals dont change but the nit and gritty does. It is almost all useless on a technical standpoint. I know I will get faster and faster as well.īasically everything you know about lighting and textures from daz. This Saturday for instance I did get 20 renders done though, week previous I managed to get 10 done on a Saturday. But the initial setup takes hours for a scene. But with the increased render speeds I am finding I can spit out more renders each night than before depending on the scene. I am currently slower, there is no batch so my workflow changed for that.
Eyes i probably spent a good hour or so on each model to get right. I used redspec to get an initial look and went from there. Daz doesn't count, only a small portion of it is the same.
For me I had a bit of background with it. Most of my time now is devoted to posing, expressions and getting around the octane quirks or changes im not familiar with.Ĭonverting textures will depend on your knowledge of shaders. Still it's far faster than IRay, the speed currently is offset by setting up textures and an environment which takes far longer. Sometimes I can do a render up to 10K iterations in like 5 minutes. Yeah using octane now, but only a couple weeks in.
